`select *` for EdgeQL

Open liron00 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

It's very common for me to want to use the CLI to just inspect an entire record. I know the JS client now supports a shortcut for select *. Can EdgeQL itself have it?

There is some discussion around this here: https://github.com/edgedb/edgedb/issues/180

Ah ok, I agree it makes sense as a REPL feature because the semantics are too ambiguous for EdgeQL.

I think it would be a very commonly used REPL feature, like more common than not to want to press tab and get that autocomplete for select commands done in the REPL.

This issues should be closed, the splats syntax has come out https://www.edgedb.com/docs/edgeql/select#splats
